Would you want to defy McDonalds?
Two of America’s largest unions have denounced McDonald’s Corp. this week following Crain’s story that the company is mobilizing franchisees against a law designed to make it easier for workers to unionize.
The Service Employee International Union encouraged its 1.8 million members to send letters to McDonald’s in support of the proposed Employee Free Choice Act. The AFL-CIO issued a press release saying it “plans to make sure the 10 million working men and women who make up our membership know that McDonald’s has just announced a whopper of a campaign against their economic interests and against their hopes for an economy that works for all, not just for the CEOs.”
If the AFL-CIO is against you, I’m probably going to be for you. For that reason, I’m going to have to go to McDonalds instead of Five Guys for my next burger break, just like Andrew Roth.
Can McDonalds sway votes? As a father of two, let me assure you that if McDonalds asserts that Card Check will raise their operating costs enough to force them to cut the toys out of happy meals, Card Check hasn’t got a prayer.

Yay and boo
Finrod (Diary) Thursday, December 11th at 2:55PM EST (link)I applaud McDonald’s for this step, but I still loathe them for pulling the double cheeseburger off the dollar menu in favor of the McDouble– which is a double cheeseburger with only 1 slice of cheese, instead of two. Burgers just aren’t good burgers unless there’s enough cheese on them.
Let’s get down to brass tacks here. How much for the ape?
Yeah...

I like Portillo's myself

AFL-CIO is stupid (duh)
Darin_H (Diary) Thursday, December 11th at 3:23PM EST (link)Seems that the AFL-CIO doesn’t know that Burger King sells Whoppers and Micky D’s sells the Big Mac, or they were too stupid to find a clever phrase using “Big Mac.”

did Big MacDaddy the Clown make the announcement?

Brian Simpson (Diary) Thursday, December 11th at 3:45PM EST (link)I’d go pick some up now.
Maybe for the whole next week I’ll reward them and make sure they know that the company’s opposition to Card Check won them my business for the week.

WHAT (Diary) Thursday, December 11th at 4:51PM EST (link)It’s time to take the family to Micky D’s! But I do wish they would improve their fries!
ohhh.. the good old days...
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Friday, December 12th at 1:05AM EST (link)Back when they fried them in a mixture of Beef Fat, Butter, and Twinkies Lard…. or whatever that was… Mmm Mmm Mmm…. So wish they would’ve installed additional Fryers so we would’ve had a “Choice.” Kinda like “New Coke” and “Coke Classic” – we should have had the choice to order the “less tasteful but better” fries or “the Worlds Greatest” as they used to be! I would’ve opted for the tastier ones every time…
